Fastwarm 12.5mm Tile Backer Insulation Board

Product information

The Fastwarm 12.5mm Tile Backer Insulation Board is an exceptional insulation solution designed for optimal performance with Fastwarm 150w, 200w, and cable heating systems. Constructed from high-quality extruded polystyrene panels with mesh and a modified polymer coating on both sides, these boards significantly reduce heat loss and can lower running costs by up to 25%. Their ultra-lightweight yet robust design allows for easy customization; they can be effortlessly cut to size, facilitating installation around fixed appliances and simplifying on-site transportation. Each board measures 1200mm x 600mm (covering 0.72m²) and is available in various thicknesses, including 12.5mm, to cater to diverse project requirements. Installation is versatile: the boards can be mechanically fixed to timber subfloors using screws and washers or adhered to solid subfloors with a flexible tile adhesive. They are moisture-resistant, enhance subfloor stability, and are suitable for both wall and floor applications when following correct installation methods. Fastwarm Tile Backer Boards are waterproof, approved by Ultra Tile adhesive manufacturers, and offer excellent sound insulation. With a remarkable thermal conductivity value of 0.034 W/mK, they are the ideal choice for use as a thermal barrier with underfloor heating systems
